Hello. I was just looking here and I see some awesome prop tips!!

I was wondering if anyone has some step-by-step pics/instructions for zombie make-up?

Thanks for any help!

your best bet is to search youtube. You can learn alot from there. It all depends on what YOU think a zombie is...

Thanks for the replies. I had previously checked out youtube and only found "girly pretty" zombies (not that there is anything wrong with that) but.....I want the real deal.

That video is great.....plus you gotta love the music choice!

Thanks again!

I tried the freshly dead look from the same guy....turned out great! Thank you so much for the awesome tip!

Tonight the husband and I are putting the final touches to our outfits....I am so excited!!

Thanks again,

Not a problem. Glad to help. Post pics of your end result.

Hey gang....I hope this works. I am going to attach the finalized product. We had a blast and the makeup turned out amazing (if I do say so myself )

If the pic doesn't turn out....you can check it out on my profile.

Thanks to everyone that offered help...you helped make our halloween that much more awesome!!!

This was my first attempt... with this technique. I learned alot the first time around. Blending is tough with the TP if you are looking for a white based zombie. I also tried plastic kitchen wrap which worked well for the wrinkles, but not the tears in the flesh. More blending is needed then they show...

Striker,

Great job....I noticed the same thing about the TP...after looking at the pics...it might have something to do with the amount of alcohol consumed that night or the flash on the camera ... not sure

Question for you....did you use the Ben Nye make up? If so, how did you find the blood affect the make up? I was going to add blood but I didn't want it to wash away the make up.

Thanks for sharing!

I did use the ben nye wheel, but used the el'cheapo blood from the tube... I think hit it with a tiny bit of corn starch to seal things in. I set the small pool of the gel blood in the wounds, and let them naturally drip.
